Support Plus Media vs Diagnostic/IPR Media

As of the September 1999 release, the name of the Diagnostic/IPR Media has been changed to Support Plus Media.

In addition, the format has changed so that there is a separate CD-ROM for each version of the operating system (HP-UX 10.20 and HP-UX 11.0). Each CD-ROM will now contain both the Diagnostics and the Current Extension Software (bundles of tested patches).

In most other ways, the Support Plus Media is similar to the old Diagnostic/IPR Media. The Support Plus Media is the distribution media for the OnlineDiag swinstall bundle, just as the Diagnostic/IPR Media was. The OnlineDiag swinstall bundle contains:

• Support Tools Manager (STM) (HP-UX 10.20 and 11.x only)
• EMS Hardware Monitors (HP-UX 10.20 and 11.x only)
• HP Predictive Support tools (Series 800 only)
• LIF-resident offline diagnostics (ODE) (HP-UX 10.x and 11.x)

The OnlineDiag swinstall bundle is located in the same location on the Support Plus Media as it was on the Diagnostic/IPR Media, namely:

<mount_point>/DIAGNOSTICS/B.xx.xx

where xx.xx is 10.20 or 11.00, depending on which OS release your system is running.

In addiion, the Support Plus Media, like the Diagnostic/IPR Media, is the platform for running offline diagnostics for all PA-RISC systems.

Support Tools for HP-UX 10.01, 10.10, or 10.30

If your computer system is running HP-UX 10.01, 10.10, or 10.30, you cannot use the Support Plus Media to install support tools. To learn how you can obtain support tools for these versions of the OS, see Support Tools for HP-UX 10.01, 10.10, or 10.30
